E-BLAST - SUN - 22 MAY
Table Tennis Table was donated to CYC Burleigh for their
youth camp. It originated in Moruya Basil Sellers House - Timeout in
Moruya where the Chinese AIS Gymnast coaches challenged Mark (chaplain) -
1980 Shell Australia Table Tennis title. It came with us to Tweed Heads
15 years ago. With the new prayer room it was folded up. I caught up
with Andrew Grant CYC Burleigh at church (Living Temple Christian Church
- Tugun Baptist) offering it (youth camp). It was snapped up and
collected. Table Tennis is a favourite in both Delma's and my families,
we both grew up on table tennis. Anthea in Sydney continues the family
tradition with a table.

Delma's birthday last Monday 69!
Initiating the new dynamic - young writer emails cut to one a week and the weekly memo is now monthly. The weekly E-Blast to our faith financial / prayer network - Well-Being Australia.
The writers were to be exempt but it turns out this is their link to WBA - raises funding so they might be published.
What of the SUN NEWS? We are aware you lot enjoy the weekly dad joke by Peter and me - they are on SUN NEWS site (PSI). Take a peek!
